Re: Restore Previous Session
Of course I'm not using a MAC machine, but the "Restore Previous Session" function has always worked for me every time when ever I've used it. Just to check for the current Pale Moon version I tried it again just now and as expected Pale Moon returned to the previous session. So I don't seem to have the same problem using Pale Moon 26.4.0 on Windows 7 (and never did on previous PM versions either).
This should be easy to find the problem tunescool, that is since you have posted that it "never works", so this would be very easy to test as you've said the issue is consistent.
Have you tested "Restore Previous Session" using a new clean profile?
If it works every time in a new profile (which I suspect it will) then the issue you are having is either due to an add-on interfering or a preference setting which you should be able to track down and fix.
Once you've found the cause you can of course then return back to your previous profile and make the necessary adjustments. Of course if you still have the problem then perhaps it is MAC related after all.
Or if you prefer instead of testing in a new profile simply "Restart with add-ons disabled..." (under "Help"), which would determine if the problem is extension related (but of course this will not test for a pref setting issue that the new profile would).
Post back your findings.

Re: Restore Previous Session
Sorry, I do not understand what you mean by "restore previous session" then ...
... if it is some button or menu it is something I do not have or never used
edit (ah now I see it in the History menu, in my case it is disabled, I suppose because I have the Session Manager addon installed)
... if you mean the popup which appears after a crash and restart I usually dismiss it and use the method below
... in your addon list I see you already have Session Manager 0.8.1.7 which I recommended and use (if you are trying to do something else perhaps it conflicts)
The way I use Session Manager is to call its menu clicking on the down arrow on the right of its name (NOT on the words Session Manager), then on the right arrow near the words "Backup Sessions" and then choosing the session I want (usually it is "previous browsing session"). Exceptionally I store to the menu a named session (e.g. for a presentation).
